AR Thread

Anyone used any Barnaul ammo through their AR's?

I have used it in a BA and it wasn't the best, to put it kindly. Had quite a few cases jam.

Just wondering 'cause it's cheap and steel cased (so I don't have to look for my good brass in the tussock and snow grass).

I'll try some and see if it cycles Ok in my R15.
Not too worried about accuracy at this stage.

Cambo, you might be better off with the steel cased Hornady ammo.

[cambo]

I would if I could dogmatix. lol
I have used it in the AR before and it is good.........BUT......Supplies are very low anywhere.

Barnaul voids any and all warrantees - and I actually think I am not joking come to think of it - even manufacturers know its crap and if you run it, it voids warrantee - which is normally the reverse as some/most state you must only run factory thru there rifles.

I'm sure it was the same with Wolf ammo.

I won't touch the crap then.

Wolf is an importer. They sell a lot of relabelled ammunition, some of which is made by Barnaul. Barnaul is a bi-metal jacket and will wear your barrel a lot faster. I will dig up a link later about it where it's tested in 3 rifles, compared to Federal M193 loads.

Buy some of the BVAC stuff from Reloaders, or some Belmont.

I'm needing to get some rails to put on my R15.
Anyone got any, or know of a good supplier?

Just need to be able to mount a few important accessories.

Hi

Was wondering if anybody knew where i would be able to get a 10-12" barrell for my bushmaster. Looking at starting a new upper build project with a small lightweight rifle in mind. Have looked at the states but no way in hell can i get anything i want out. Any help or advice would be appreciated.

cheers

Longer barrel cut down?

[Beavis]

What is ur current set up? If it is a 16" carbine you should be able to trim the tube to the appropriate length, it might require the gas port to be opened a little, due to the decrease in dwell time. If u have a rifle length tube it will require lathe work after the cut down to get the right profile for the gas block. I wouldn't trust local smiths to do this properly.

We will have 10.5 barrels next week
